• Pursued PhD in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence), advised by Carlos Guestrin, and currently taking time to develop my scientific/entrepreneurial thoughts outside of academia.

• My latest research revolves around developing tiny language models that can fit in phones and watches, and replicate the robust capabilities of large language models (LLMs), within specific business domains. These tiny LLM replicas should improve global AI accessibility, reduce AI energy consumption and enable free or low-cost AI-equipped applications.

• At Apple, in 2023, as Machine Learning Research Intern, I diagnosed issues of hallucination in Apple's internal large language models (LLMs) through a novel counterfactual diagnostic strategy which asks: "When an LLM outputs x, is it internally actually probabilistically more confident in x, than statements y and z that contradict x?" Our tool detected hallucinations in Apple's LLMs with an accuracy of up to 90% on tasks like app store review summarization.

• In 2023, I led a team of 6 scientists to develop Ceteris Paribus [video], which won the award for "most promising approach to audit large language models" (like Chat-GPT) in the global AI Audit competition held by the Stanford center for Human-centered AI. Ceteris Paribus empowers policymakers and regulators to audit large language models (LLMs) for illegal discrimination across protected traits such as race and gender, without requiring pre-existing data (dynamic benchmark) or computational expertise.

• I was a finalist for the Hertz Foundation Fellowship and Open Philanthropy AI Fellowship.

• I am fortunate to have been supported by the Stanford School of Engineering Stanford School of Engineering First Year Doctoral Fellowship (2021) and Stanford EDGE Fellowship (2021). 

I enjoyed my role of Deep Learning Scientist at ReviveMed from 2020 to 2021, where I patented a metabolomics signal detection pipeline. Our work led to the discovery of potential kidney cancer biomarkers, in collaboration with MIT Biological Engineering and the Broad Institute.

I graduated from MIT with B.S. and MEng. degrees in Computer Science in 2018 and 2020. With the guidance of Leslie Kaelbling, I developed new machine learning and inference techniques for probabilistic graphical models. I also applied graph neural networks to problems involving 3D geometry.

I enjoy teaching and was a TA for 4 semesters at MIT. I helped run probabilistic inference and machine learning classes.

Also at MIT, Patrick Winston introduced me to research in artificial intelligence, Polina Golland and Gregory Wornell taught me how to teach, and Ferran Alet helped hone my scientific thinking.

I had the opportunity to develop the campus shuttle mobile app for Ford Motor Company during my Junior year summer. My main contribution was to deploy a map interface that tracks shuttle positions in real-time using GPS data.

In the winter of 2016, as an Augmented Reality Game Developer at Brain Power, LLC, I engineered augmented reality games on Google Glass to help autistic children with emotional awareness and making eye contact during conversations. 

Before joining MIT at the age of 18, I grew up on the island of Mauritius. According to my friend, because of its population of 1.3 million people, I am "one in a million".

I am fluent in 5 languages: French, Spanish, English, Hindi, Creole. I am using geopolitics to help me decide on a 6th language.

I enjoy creative writing: I enjoy poetry as a means to process the universe around us and blogging to document my backpacking trips.
